I mean version.pm. In version.pm's Build.PL the function
have_c_compiler() is used to decide whether the version.pm's XS part
should be built and installed or not. Unfortunately have_c_compiler()
does not only check if a C compiler is available, it also checks if
ExtUtils::CBuilder is already installed. My assumption is that in the
smoker run version.pm was installed twice, first time without
ExtUtils::CBuilder available (and hence installed into the
arch-independent location) and the 2nd time with ExtUtils::CBuilder
installed in the meantime.
It makes me somewhat nervous to know that modules gets installed at
different locations (site vs. core, or arch-dependent vs.
arch-independent). One never knows which location will "win".
